<title>Previous conversations</title>
+ <p>
+ <app>Empathy</app> automatically saves all your text conversations with your contacts,
+ and you can perform two different kinds of search: a normal text search, or a
+ per-conversation search.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The normal search is a <em>full text</em> search: it will search the exact text in
+ all your previous conversations.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The per-conversation search permits you to limit the search to a particular
+ contact and conversation, and permits you to look at all the previous
+ conversations you had with your contacts.
+ </p>
+
+ <note>
+ <p>
+ You do not need to be connected to the Internet to search your previous
+ conversations.
+ </p>
+ </note>
+
